A Step Toward Success
Beauty Changes Lives (BCL) and Murad introduced the first BCL
scholarships focused solely on esthetics during the Cosmoprof
trade show last summer, and recently announced the inaugural
winners of five $2,250 tuition scholarships for esthetics students.
A panel of celebrity estheticians and industry
leaders evaluated essays, inspiration boards, and online
videos that described students' visions of how a career
in esthetics will change not only their lives, but also
the lives of those they serve. These winners are one
step closer to careers in the esthetics profession:
• Jada Butler, Avalon School of Cosmetology,
Phoenix, Arizona
• Carianne Cordova, Bellus Academy, El Cajon, California
• Alycia Gulbranson, Marinello Schools of Beauty,
Chico, California
• Andrae Kovak, International Salon and Spa Academy,
Colorado Springs, Colorado
• Jeanette Rivera, Lancaster School of Cosmetology,
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
BCL President Lynelle Lynch said these esthetics-only
scholarships fill a valuable place in the BCL scholarship
suite. "As the line between beauty and wellness becomes
increasingly blurred, esthetics is providing an opportunity
for individuals to integrate their interest in self-care and
wellness with their desire to help people look and feel better.
We feel honored and blessed to have Murad's support."
Murad funds two BCL/Murad competitions annually.
The spring competition application window is March 14–May
23, 2016. For additional information on BCL scholarship
